solar power generation

For the second year in a row, solar PV outpaced wind in global electricity growth generation in 2023, according to energy think tank Ember.

EU's solar power generation is expected to increase by 50TWh this year thanks to increased capacity installations, according to Rystad Energy.

A record growth from solar and wind power, increased its global electricity to 12% in 2022, however, other clean energy resources have dropped for the first time since 2011, according to energy thinktank Ember.

The share of renewables in net electricity generation in Germany nearly accounted for half of total power generation in 2022 with 49.6%, according to the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (ISE).

Solar and wind power reached a record 10% of global electricity in 2021. That milestone has now been reached by 50 countries across the world including all five of the world’s largest economies, although power sector emissions have reached an all-time high, according to energy thinktank Ember.

Solar PV power systems contributed to 11.4% of Spain’s power mix last month, setting a new record for monthly production, according to new data from grid operator Red Eléctrica de España.

The amount of non-hydro renewables such as solar in Africa is likely to remain below 10% in 2030, although there are significant regional differences.
